Incredibly stupid and embarrassing question:

[Laffy Kat]

I'm a newbie, though. What does "Milestone" mean after the post title?

2. Milestone is DU's most prolific poster.

Just kidding, but that's what I thought when I first saw it: who is this Milestone person?

It just means a post has received 25 replies, 50 replies, etc.

3. Thanks, both of you! Don't tell anyone I asked, OK?

[Aristus]

4. I'm sure no one will find out...

9. Good thing Laffy Kat posted this in the secret forum

No one will ever know.

Of course, it's really a very good question, not stupid at all. I use the filter to eliminate the milestones and avoid that distraction, but to each his own.

I've never even noticed "milestone" after a post. Oh, well.

11. I'm still not seeing it (13 years here)

Oh, wait, just saw it, for the first time. Weird! How did I miss that?
